catheter- and endoscope-based devices to convert surgical procedures from open to minimally invasive

robotic devices for autonomous or semi-autonomous surgeries

Notes

The development of detector modules and sensors is supported by the NIBIB Biosensors and Physiological Detectors program, the development of point of care devices is supported by the NIBIB Point of Care Technologies program, and the development of non-imaging devices for therapeutic intervention is supported by the NIBIB Therapeutic Medical Devices program.

The mission of the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) is to improve health by leading the development and accelerating the application of biomedical technologies. The Institute is committed to integrating the physical and engineering sciences with the life sciences to advance basic research and medical care.
